I’ve managed to upload the full movie to YouTube: (link removed)
There’s no telling how long it will be up, maybe weeks from now, days from now, or even only minutes from now, or maybe we’ll get lucky for it to be left up indefinitely, though I doubt that. Enjoy while you still can!
Read the rules.

And don’t post links like that again.
Point taken. Though, I assume you are referring to rule four, and if so, YouTube does not allow you to directly download their videos: you would need a third party software to do so, which I did not provide in that post.
Additionally, assuming at least 90%(which I’d argue is a VERY conservative estimate) of all YouTube videos contain copyrighted content, would that not mean most YouTube links posted on the forum in the past are in violation of the rules as well assuming I was in the wrong to begin with and that YouTube is not welcome here in general? If that is the case, you may want to edit out the same YouTube link posted in your reply(despite its being dead).
Uploading whole movies to youtube is not only against youtube rules, but against the law.
I think I’m in good company: you could consider, then, that any of these preservation projects here illegal(which I’m not trying to dispute), but that is why they are frequently cited to be in a legal grey area, as these projects and the distribution of their results are partly justified on preservation and educational grounds. Education is greatest when the most number of people reap its benefits.
